# Integrating Datadog with Stitch Notifications

Using the [Custom email notification list feature](https://help.qlik.com/en-US/stitch/account-security/notifications/extend-email-notifications), you can integrate Stitch notifications with your [Datadog account](https://www.slack.com/).

When a Stitch email notification is sent to Datadog, it will display in the **Events** stream. For example: This is an email notification sent to Datadog about an issue with a Salesforce integration:
